But he was not the only one to be praised by head coach Shannon Ruth.
Albion came from behind for a 2-1 win over Wolves at Kidderminster.
The winger followed his earlier penalty by crashing home a late left-footed finish for the winner.
The result sent the Seagulls above Wolves in the race for a play-off spot in Premier League 2.
Oriola has enjoyed a good season for the youngsters as well as making a brief senior Premier League debut against Leeds at the Amex.
Ruth praised his side’s defensive work and the reaction to going behind.
He told brightonandhovealbion.com: “In the second half we kept knocking on the door, were patient in the way we built our attacks and Miah’s second was a nice volley at the far post.
“I was pleased with our all-round our performance.
“Miah had a strong evening but there were a lot of good performances throughout the team.”
Albion: Hall; Tasker, Barclay, Penman (Lane 65), Mills; Silsby (Keogh 84), Mackley; Middleton (West 70), Oriola, Nti; Brett (Belmont 65). Unused sub: Jensen.
